when i bought my trike it had the standard yamaha system on it and i kept tearing it off because of the way it was mounted and eventually i built my own system for $90. i bought two hot dog mufflers and attached them to the header pipes.the exhaust finishes just in front of the diff. it does sound loud but not over the top. my mates say when i turn up that they didnt hear me turn up so i have the best of both worlds, it,s throatie but also quite at the same time.

several have put Harley touring mufflers on with good results.

my TriKing 1500 Goldwing SE has dual car mufflers on it.The Gold wing mufflers were removed in the trike process and custom bent muffler pipe were welded on the header pipe then just past the diff the mufflers were added with chrome tail pieces attached to them As I said this was part of the triking process.Any good muffler shop with a tubing bender should be able to fix you up.They will have to put a Bell curve in the tube to clear the muffler,but this should not be a problem for them.

I agree with Gorilla.Harley take-offs can be found easily.I have a set on my Goldwing trike,less than $50 in mufflers,brackets and pipe.
Sound is not bad either,
Good luck,

Could you do a video so we can hear those pipes?
